Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 14, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,906 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 140 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (151 of 329). Evening rush dominates here: 1,207 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,005 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 1,005 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,207 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2023, with 6 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 4 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (17%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 13, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Nov 2, 2011.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.
How fast traffic moves here
On Havelock St between College St and Lindsey Ave, 72 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2022 put the average speed at 26 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 33 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 37 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day.
